Description
Summary:This study presents preliminary outcomes for a problem-solving court improvement model, the Miami Child Well-Being Court™ (Miami-CWBC), which makes evidence-based clinical intervention and integration of the treating clinician’s ongoing assessment and perspective central in the dependency court process. Records were reviewed for children adjudicated for maltreatment that completed treatment. Several promising findings suggest that this approach can help jurisdictions improve the lives of young children and their families’ capacity to care for them.
